Got like 2-3 painful ulcers in my mouth this week and my period is 4 days late. Never usually get them so im wondering if this is some early sign na. Did anyone notice mouth ulcers before they tested positive?
Please check with your gynac once to be absolutely safe. Sometimes it can be due to nutritional deficiencies that need proper supplements. Don't take any self-medication during this time.
Mouth ulcers are very common when your body is preparing for pregnancy and hormones are shifting. Just drink plenty of water, avoid spicy food for a few days, and it will heal on its own very soon. Don't stress too much.
I totally get it, early pregnancy hormones can do crazy things to your body. I had such bad mouth ulcers in my first month and used to cry because of the pain and not being able to eat properly. It’s absolutely normal, just take care of yourself.
It can happen because of stress and heat in the body. I made sure to drink lots of coconut water and keep up with my gentle walking and cooling pranayama, but only after checking with my doc. Keeping your body active and hydrated really helps manage these random symptoms.
Actually, my doctor told me that hormonal fluctuations and a drop in immunity or vitamin B12/folate levels can trigger mouth ulcers in early pregnancy. It is quite common as your body is adjusting. She advised me to stay hydrated and eat vitamin-rich foods instead of using random over-the-counter medicines.
Hormone changes or lack of vitamins can cause them early on. Ghar pe just do warm salt water rinses 3 times a day or apply a little honey or ghee on the ulcer. No need to buy expensive gels, these simple home remedies work best and are safe.
Yes, I remember getting these in my first few weeks when I was at my parents' house. My mom used to give me fresh curd and home-made white butter to cool my stomach, which helped so much. Family care is really the best during these stressful days.
